When the plain descends and you can hear soft
voice of the stewardess instructing you to fasten your seat belt, you would do well to lift the window shade and look down.
Right beneath you is the Crimea, surrounded by blue color of the sea. The Crimea is connected to the continent only by a thin
thread of land. The thread stretches through lake Sivash, as if a towline holding the Crimea to the mainland's shores.
Through this path of land descended the leader of the White Guards - Baron Vrangel, dreaming of turning the peninsula into the
last bastion of tsarist Russia. The Revolutionary commissars led the Red Army down this very road into the Crimea, determined to
slay all inhabitants and proclaim to the world the beginning of a new era. The writer Basil Aksenov, in his novel "Island Crimea",
razed this very isthmus to the ground, and then creating a wonderful world, perhaps the very world the White Barons dreamt of in their final days.
Group of designers "Babanin Design Group" presents "The road to Crimea" art-project.
Sivash isthmus is supposed to be restored and converted into functioning monument of history. All unclaimed monuments of Lenin will be gathered and settled
on both coast sides 500 meters distance of each other. The path travels through every stage of history . There will be "the train of Time" going across
isthmus out of continent to Crimea and back. The passengers will go through time and will experience certain historical events.
How comes our developers keep it in a secret. According through hearsay, famous Disneyland would be just a merry-go-round in comparison with upcoming project!
We request from any organizations and individuals,
who live in Ukraine, and are able to provide us with information and unknown photos of Lenin to write to info@babanin.net detailing exact location of them.
